Default need input on air cleaner

I'm polling the forum for suggestions on which air cleaner I should put on my 2005 Sportster 883 Custom. I just installed a Two Brothers Comp-S 2-into-1 exhaust system on my bike and am researching which air cleaner will complement the performance gains achieved with this exhaust. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Check this thread....may give you some ideas

Had the Outlaw 587 with chrome bobber cover and now have a Kuryakyn Velociraptor (V-stack). The v-stack has a K&N air filter.








On both systems, I ran DK Customs external breather bolts.

Im very happy with my K&N system. Only performance mods to motor are the intake/air filter, holes in stock exhaust baffle and V&H tune.
Bike runs surprisingly well, much better than I would expect for the minor mods, so I think intake must have helped.
Intake was first change and leaned it out a lot, surging, decell popping. Moded exhaust, got worse (as expected) but with tune, smooth and good power. Not near as fast as sport bike, but quicker around town.
